MEXC Reports Sharp Surge in TradFi Futures Trading Volume in April, Led by 1,600% Jump in INTC

Published

42 seconds ago

May 21, 2026

By

Victoria, Seychelles, May 21th, 2026- Data from MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, shows that TradFi futures trading volume on the platform surged sharply in April. Among all sectors, AI semiconductor-related assets recorded the strongest month-over-month growth, with some exceeding 1,600%. This closely mirrored the rally in U.S. AI chip stocks during the same period, as more users increasingly turned to crypto platforms to gain exposure to traditional financial markets.

In April, as geopolitical tensions temporarily stabilized, risk appetite in the U.S. stock market rebounded significantly. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 reached new all-time highs. Intel Corporation (INTC) rose roughly 50% during the month, marking its largest monthly gain in more than half a century. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) surged 74%, becoming one of the best-performing stocks in the S&P 500. NVIDIA climbed approximately 14.4%, reclaiming the $200 level, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) also strengthened alongside booming demand for AI computing power. AI and semiconductors became the dominant trading theme in the U.S. equity market throughout April.

The intensity of this rally was clearly reflected in trading activity among MEXC users. The AI semiconductor sector saw the most pronounced growth. INTC futures trading volume skyrocketed 1,684% month-over-month, AMD rose 543%, TSM gained 278%, and NVIDIA increased 213%, with all four assets posting triple-digit growth. Large-cap technology stocks and major indices also advanced strongly, with QQQ up 186%, GOOGL up 177%, and SP500 up 92%. Other assets including META (+121%), AAPL (+78%), and the NAS100 Index (+50%) also recorded significant increases.

As structural opportunities in the U.S. stock market become increasingly evident, more users are choosing to position themselves directly through familiar crypto trading platforms. Compared with traditional brokerages, crypto platforms eliminate cumbersome account-opening procedures, support both long and short Futures trading, and use stablecoins for settlement, avoiding the need to transfer funds across different financial systems. MEXC further reduces trading friction by offering zero fees on multiple Futures pairs, alongside deep liquidity and leverage of up to 100x. During the platform’s 0-Fee Fest, launched on April 15, MEXC users collectively saved more than $83 million in trading fees within just 12 trading days, with TradFi futures products contributing over $15 million of that total.

Against the backdrop of accelerating global asset rotation, demand for cross-asset allocation is rising rapidly. Currently, MEXC offers Futures pairs covering more than 130 traditional financial assets, including U.S. equities, stock indices, ETFs, precious metals, commodities, and foreign exchange products. Through a single account, users can seamlessly switch between crypto and traditional financial markets, capturing opportunities across asset classes at minimal cost.

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.

CGTN: China-Russia relations reach new heights as Xi, Putin meet in Beijing

Published

May 21, 2026

By

CGTN published an article highlighting how China and Russia are deepening strategic coordination, economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s state visit to China. By combining trade data, historical context and expert analysis, the piece emphasizes the resilience of bilateral ties and their role in promoting a multipolar world order.

Bilateral trade has topped $200 billion for three consecutive years; more than 70% of China-Europe freight trains now pass through Russia en route to Europe; ten China-Russia Expos have been held; over 170 pairs of sister cities and provinces have been established, reflecting the growing depth and breadth of bilateral cooperation. In recent years, China-Russia collaboration has expanded across multiple sectors, yielding tangible results.

On Wednesday, the two heads of state once again witnessed the signing of multiple cooperation documents covering trade, education, technology and other areas during Putin’s state visit to China, fueling a new era of partnership between the two neighboring major countries.

During their meeting, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that China-Russia relations have now reached the highest level in history as a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era and that the two sides should seize the momentum to align China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) with Russia’s development strategy through 2030, and deepen cooperation to serve the development and rejuvenation of both countries.

The two leaders also agreed to extend the China-Russia Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation and issued a joint statement on enhancing comprehensive strategic coordination, deepening good-neighborliness and friendly cooperation.

China-Russia relations set example for major countries

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and the 25th anniversary of the treaty, which defines the relationship as “non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party” and enshrines the principle of “ever-lasting friendship and never becoming enemies.”

Xi noted that the treaty legally established a long-term foundation for neighborly friendship and comprehensive strategic cooperation, which has enabled a leap forward in bilateral relations. He said that China will work with Russia to uphold the spirit of the treaty and firmly advance China-Russia back-to-back strategic coordination.

Li Yongquan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the China-Russia relationship, based on “non-alliance, non-confrontation, and not targeting any third party,” transcends ideology and political systems and rests firmly on shared long-term interests and a commitment to a multipolar world. Their relationship offers a new model for major countries to get along with each other, Li said.

Since the treaty’s signing, political trust between the two countries has deepened. Annual presidential visits have become a routine, and multiple cooperation mechanisms have been established, including regular meetings between prime ministers, the China-Russia Energy Cooperation Committee, the Strategic Security Consultation Mechanism and the China-Russia Committee on Cultural Cooperation.

These mechanisms have played an irreplaceable role in promoting pragmatic cooperation, resolving bilateral issues and coordinating positions on multilateral international affairs.

China, Russia: Pillars of a multipolar world

During their talks, Xi stressed the importance of deepening multilateral coordination, safeguarding the post-war international order and international law and promoting the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system.

China and Russia have long supported each other on key issues of mutual concern. They have jointly promoted the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS and trilateral mechanisms such as China-Russia-India and China-Russia-Mongolia cooperation. They also continue to coordinate on international platforms, such as the UN and APEC, advocating for greater representation of developing countries in global governance and promoting a multipolar, inclusive global order.

Russia is the first country Xi visited after taking office as Chinese president. Putin last year visited China to attend the SCO summit and commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

During Wednesday’s meeting, Putin stated that China-Russia relations have stood the test of time and grown increasingly resilient and that China-Russia cooperation is an important stabilizing factor in the turbulent world.

Cooperation boosts shared development, people-to-people exchanges

Deep political trust and close strategic alignment between the two countries has enabled steady progress in trade, culture and people-to-people exchanges, ushering China-Russia relations into a new phase of development.

Despite a complex international environment, China-Russia cooperation has shown resilience. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, bilateral trade reached $227.9 billion in 2025, surpassing the $200 billion mark for the third consecutive year. In the first quarter of this year, bilateral trade totaled $61.2 billion, up 14.7% year on year.

Currently, the 10th China-Russia Expo is being held in Harbin, northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, attracting nearly 300 Russian enterprises. Meanwhile, China and Russia introduced a mutual visa-free policy in 2025, triggering a tourism boom between the two countries.

The two countries have also jointly organized a range of exchange programs over the years, including the language year, tourism year, youth exchange year and cultural year. Last year, the “China-Russia Year of Culture” concluded successfully, while this year’s “China-Russia Year of Education” is expected to further strengthen generational friendship and consolidate the foundation for long-term mutual understanding between the two peoples.

Chosen as the best settlement agreement employment lawyers in Berkshire & Buckinghamshire, employment law firm Solidaire Solicitors is known for its proven expertise in settlement agreements, redundancy matters, and client-focused legal support across the UK.

The recognition follows continued industry attention surrounding the increasing complexity of workplace disputes, negotiated exits, redundancy processes, and settlement agreements across the United Kingdom. As employers and employees navigate evolving employment challenges, the demand for highly focused legal representation in employment matters continues to grow.

According to LawyerMagazine, Solidaire Solicitors has established itself as a leading specialist practice by concentrating primarily on settlement agreements, redundancy advice, and workplace disputes. The publication highlighted the firm’s ability to provide targeted and strategic legal guidance for employees seeking independent legal advice during critical employment situations.

In its editorial coverage, LawyerMagazine noted that Solidaire Solicitors has built a reputation for delivering highly focused employment law expertise while maintaining a strong commitment to efficiency and client care. The publication further emphasised the firm’s specialist approach to settlement agreement matters and its ability to guide employees through legally sensitive workplace negotiations.

Settlement agreements remain a key aspect of UK employment law, particularly in redundancy situations, workplace restructures, and negotiated employment exits. Independent legal advice is often required before such agreements become legally binding, making specialist employment solicitors an essential part of the process for employees seeking to protect their rights and financial interests.

Solidaire Solicitors provides legal support across a wide range of employment law matters, including settlement agreements, redundancy disputes, unfair dismissal claims, discrimination concerns, disciplinary investigations, and workplace performance-related issues. The firm’s legal team focuses on ensuring employees fully understand the implications of employment agreements before signing and works to negotiate fair and balanced outcomes where appropriate.

The firm’s settlement agreement services include reviewing employment exit terms, negotiating compensation packages, clarifying restrictive covenants, and ensuring employees understand the legal consequences of proposed agreements. In redundancy matters, Solidaire Solicitors advises employees on redundancy procedures, unfair selection concerns, and potential legal claims arising from workplace restructures.

Beyond settlement agreements and redundancy advice, the firm also assists clients dealing with workplace discrimination allegations, unfair dismissal claims, disciplinary proceedings, and performance management disputes. Its broader employment law practice is designed to support employees facing complex workplace situations requiring strategic legal guidance.

One of the distinguishing factors highlighted by LawyerMagazine is the firm’s emphasis on efficiency and responsiveness. Solidaire Solicitors is recognised for frequently completing settlement agreement matters within 24 to 48 hours, helping employees resolve time-sensitive employment issues quickly while maintaining detailed legal oversight.

This operational efficiency is supported by a strong client-service reputation. The firm has accumulated more than 100 five-star client reviews and is ranked among the top 2% of employment law firms nationwide on Review Solicitors. These recognitions reflect the firm’s continued focus on accessibility, communication, and practical legal support during challenging employment situations.

The recognition further strengthens Solidaire Solicitors’ position within the UK employment law sector, particularly in relation to settlement agreement representation and employee-focused workplace dispute resolution.

As workplace legal matters continue evolving across industries, specialist employment law firms are increasingly playing a critical role in helping employees understand their rights, evaluate legal risks, and navigate negotiated employment exits with greater confidence and clarity.
